Assignment Overview
Empyrean Hotel is a 550 room hotel located in the heart of downtown adjacent to
the local convention center, of mid-sized Midwestern metropolitan area.
Empyrean is the largest hotel in the city, and is a full-service hotel with
restaurants, bars, meeting rooms, and the ability to host convention attendees,
local business organizations in need of meeting space, weddings and receptions.
It is also commonly used by out of town visitors who come for the graduation
ceremonies and home football games of the major college located nearby, as
well as those that frequent the new casino that opened just three miles from
downtown.
All of the major hotels in this city are unionized, including the Empyrean, but the
Empyrean being the largest hotel in the area is often used by the Union to set the
marketplace for salary and benefit concessions. The current, agreement between
the Empyrean employees and management is set to expire in thirty days, right
before the start of the next college football season with the hotel fully booked for
the home football weekends that will be commencing shortly.
The economy has been steadily growing since the last time a labor agreement
was reached five years ago on the heels of a recession. Unemployment is low,
and future economic growth is expected to be positive and steady, though far
from booming.
Two years ago the current union leader of the local Empyrean Hotel union was
elected to a four year term. Much of the support for the new union leader came
from single mothers whom the union leader won over by her pledge of obtaining
day care benefits and flexible scheduling, along with a fair raise in the upcoming
negotiations with management. Because the economy was weak five years ago
when the last employee package was negotiated the Union then agreed to small
wage increases and minimal benefits improvements. The Union leadership
considers this rounds of negotiations to be important as they will lead the way for
all others in the local industry as many other hotel agreements will come up for
renegotiation shortly after the Empyrean negotiations.
The Empyrean Hotel management however believes that too much of the hotel
profits are being eaten up by an overly-generous wage and benefit package for
the rank and file. They are also worried about the growing threat of Airbnb listings
growth in the local market and are concerned that occupancy rates and profits
are likely to decline in the short and long term due to this increasing demand.
Your job as the Executive Vice-President over Human Resources is to provide
advice on how to respond to the Union demands for daycare benefits, flexible
scheduling, and pay increases 3% above inflation each year for the next five
years.
